Pacific as Estimated from Transosonde Data

چکیده
The magnitude of analysis errors over the r~orthc~:rstcrn Pacific a t 300 and 250 rnh. is estimated by means of winds and geostrophic TTinds derived from opvrational trunsosonde flights from Japan. The results suggest that the ratio of vect,or gcostrophie wind error and geostrophic willd varivs from 0.15 near the west coast of North America t o 0.40 in thc Sorth-Central Pacific. The influcncr. of these arlalysis crrors upon numerical forecasting, airplane dispatching, and trajectory estinlations is indieat(d. As O I I ~ of the, alternative mcthods for incrcasing the number of upper-air observations over the oceans, the prt:sent sta1rrrl:~tc with regard to the horizontal sounding syst,em is considered, and suggestiolls rnade for breaking this st:dcrnatcx.

A Note on the Magnitude of Jet-stream Winds East of Japan as Derived from Transosonde Data
A comparatively unbiased set of wind statistics at jet-stream level from Japan eastward to the 180th meridian may be obtained from the United States Navy constant level balloon (transosonde) flights launched from Japan in 1957-59. Wind speeds so derived are presented as a function of time of year and longitude at pressure surfaces of 300 and 250 mb. At these longitudes and heights the average s...
متن کاملA Comparative Appraisal of Roadway Accident for Asia-Pacific Countries
This paper describes an attempt to shed some light on road safety in Asia Pacific region by characterizing and assessing its road accidents. The relevant national road accident data were extracted from centralized data sources of international agencies. Due to data incompleteness and missing values, 21 Asia Pacific countries, presenting more than half of the world’s population, were selected fo...

As a result of recent developments, global economic centre of gravity has slide to Asia-Pacific region. It is predicted that Asia-Pacific countries will take place at the first row in global trade and nearly a half of the total trade will intensify in this region at the year 2030. On the other hand, the region covers countries from different levels of development. These features of the region p...
متن کاملRelationship between Economic Growth, Urban Concentration and Trade: Evidence from the Asia-Pacific
There is a significant relationship between economic growth and the degree of urban concentration, as measured by primacy or the share of the largest city in an urban system. In accordance to urban economic theories, there is an inverse-U shape relationship between urban concentration âurban primacy- and economic growth. That is, as economy grows, urban concentration increases, approaches a...
متن کاملIntraspecific phylogeography of the Japanese threadfin bream, Nemipterus japonicus (Perciformes: Nemipteridae), from the Persian Gulf and Indo-West Pacific: a preliminary study based on mitochondrial DNA sequence
The Japanese threadfin bream, Nemipterus japonicus, the most abundant and crucially economic Nemipterus species is widespread throughout the Indo-West Pacific. The species has been studied widely for various aspects but genetic studies are scanty. This preliminary study contributes to the species phylogeography through the study of the genetic diversity and historical demography of N. japonicus...
